I love getting mail (except on Mondays when I know our mail slot will be subjected to five pounds of ads from places like McWhorters Stationers and Sleeptrain.) I hit the mail jackpot over the weekend. On Sunday we returned from an extended weekend at Lake Almanor - for those of you outside of California, Lake Almanor is a six-hour drive from San Francisco (another post entirely).
I recently wrote about how much I dig using carbineer clips as keychains, especially for visits to the park. Usually I just buy a colored clip and add a key loop to it. But did I know that something more sophisticated even existed? Nope. Not until a friend (who happens to read this blog - hi!) sent me this:
A thing of beauty, no? She found it at a hardware store and immediately thought of me. It's a floral carbineer with key loops already attached. I showed my new key chain to the hubs and instead of calling me a butch park ranger, he said: "Awww, now you look like a pretty park ranger." Not only have I now simplified my key situation, I've improved my appearance. Que allegria!
Now for the stink of it. I can't find these online so that you, too, can own one. If you've spotted these on the web let me know and I'll update this post with a link.
